Empathy, leadership, honesty, teamwork, and time management are some of those abilities I acquired from place I’ve had the chace to colaborate in. Working as a graphic designer, a content creator, filmmaker and film editor, motion graphic designer, copywriter, content manager, digital strategist and, lately, as a Content Lead/Strategist gave me a lot of perspective about how brands, media and customers/users perceive the world outside and inside the platforms... digital or physical.

I started as a graduated Graphic Designer, but soon I realized that was just a degree, but not the one thing I would do. To be more specific I can say while working on SDP Noticias / El Deforma I changed and implemented a new strategy for three social media pages (with Facebook and Instagram pages) which were performing not to well and making them improve the performance and engagement of over 200% at the end of my time over there, not to mention a lot of brands kept investing in the pages for original content, digital strategy and mentions on posts. While I was at Mudpie, I developed templates and wireframes for a new and upcoming mobile app, designed the new version of the logo they used at the time, and helped to build all the information architecture for the processes and the way users would interact with the interface.

Now, during the time I've been collaborating in Publicis México as a Content Manager and Digital Design Leader, I can say I found an amazing team with which the way we took the social media and digital platform of BMW México & LATAM made it grow exponentially; but not only that, we also created digital campaigns an digital strategies to fix some gaps the brand had with the costumers and social media fans resulting in a whole new stage for the brand in the Mexican and Latino market, me working as a strategist, copywriter and designer at the same time. Nowadays I work for two global and amazing brands: Ferrero Rocher & Citibanamex, creating Digital & Social Media strategies and campaings which connect with costumers and users in a deep level, leading a creative and an account team all together.

By the time I’ve worked as a Digital Strategist in Alterpraxis, creating new ways to achieve the KPI’s our clients ask for, and finding new processes so the goals are fullfiled and the strategies are improved to put the brands we work with in the Top of Mind of the customers and as leaders in the industry, I found a new passion towards digital enviroments and their inmense possibility to connect with people. Nowadays, as a Content Lead at Ogilvy & Mather, I’ve been learning a lot about creativity focused on new formats and breaking-through ideas that help brands to be closer to what consumers and users are really looking for... even when they don’t know yet.

As you might notice, I'm a guy who easily adapts to changing environments, picking up new skills fast and finding ways to improve in every way I can.
